Modern energy-efficient buildings are designed to maximise the use of the sun's rays as a natural source of heat, making it all the more necessary to offset the impact of the sun during the hot months of the year. By using solar shading, the operation of air-conditioning units can be significantly reduced, thereby lowering electricity consumption. Users can take full advantage of the benefits of solar shading systems with control automation that reacts to changes in the weather.
The energy saved translates into the amount of toxic substances that would be produced in energy production and carbon dioxide emissions. Special programmes, which simulate the energy balance of a building, calculate accurate data assessing the effectiveness of solar shading.
Rising temperatures and increasingly frequent heatwaves during the summer months mean that thermal comfort inside buildings is becoming one of the key challenges of modern architecture. However, there is an increasing search for alternatives to energy-intensive air conditioning –...
Choosing window frames is one of the most important decisions when building or renovating a house. Windows are crucial not only for the comfort of living, but also for the safety, energy efficiency and durability of the entire investment. In this context, certificates are an impo...
In summer, we are increasingly faced with extreme temperatures that not only put strain on building air conditioning systems but also negatively affect our overall wellbeing. The increase of energy costs and the requirements of sustainable building mean that passive cooling metho...
